This week’s episode is all about returns and departures, simple joys and deep sorrows. Sometimes life is too complicated to express in words, and that is precisely when music is most needed. Music has the power to heal and uplift one’s soul, to soothe and allow contemplation, to help one remember or help one to forget. This eclectic set of tunes is my little sonic getaway during a tough time but it could equally be your celebration of a week well ended. Either way, life is just a big circle turning, with endless departures and returns…
I had totally forgotten about Independence Day when I sat down to make the playlist this week, so I scrapped it and started fresh to create a full hour of good, good vibes – to quote the amazing new Sara Tavares song I open up this set with. Look forward to an eclectic mix of sounds and styles including World, Downtempo, Electro, House, and Funk — all guaranteed to put you in the best of moods! Plus 6 totally legal free downloads – something to celebrate, indeed.

This week I present a 1 hour spotlight on UK dance label, Loverush Digital. This is actually the 2nd time I’ve featured this fantastic up and coming label, so if you missed it, be sure to check out Chillcast #128 for another 45 mins of trance-filled goodness! Everything on the show today comes special permissions from the label and/or bands, so this is really a special treat. Get ready for a high energy mix of trance, techno, progressive house and downtempo, my friends!
